for RFC5545, "Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)".

Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Ken Murchison <murch@fastmail.com>
Date Reported: 2018-09-26
Held by: Francesca Palombini (IESG)

Section: 3.2.19

Original Text
-------------
       tzidparam  = "TZID" "=" [tzidprefix] paramtext


Corrected Text
--------------
       tzidparam  = "TZID" "=" [tzidprefix] param-value


Notes
-----
TZID appears to be the only parameter defined 5545 whose value can not be a quoted string.  This is problematic in that time zone IDs such as "GMT-03:00" are beginning to appear (note the embedded colon).  RFC 6868 has no mechanism to quote a colon character, as it relies on such characters appearing within a quoted string.  I see no technical reason why a TZID parameter can not be quoted, and existing implementations already accept quoted TZIDs.
